"Archangel Alpha" really is the cinematic version of the "Little Engine That Could." The independent film that is being produced by Chance Studios just keeps chugging along no matter what has been thrown at it.

Back in July of last of last year the folks over at Chance were in such a dire need for cash to finish the project that they began to sell t-shirts, posters, acknowledgement in the films credits, and even walk-on roles in the film.

Thankfully, these tactics paid off, because "Archangel Alpha" looks like one kick ass little film.

Here is the plot for those who haven't been following this story so-far:

Archangel Alpha is a sci-fi war story of love and loss in a world teetering on the brink of Armageddon.

Three friends (Elena, Alexandra and Grigori) have their relationship pushed to the breaking point when they find themselves on opposite sides of a devastating war. In the midst of the final deciding battle, Grigori is killed by Alex. Elena and Alex are both shot down. They confront each other just as The Beast, a merciless AI weapon, is released onto the battlefield. The Beast goes rogue and turns against both sides, annihilating both armies and initiating a nuclear launch between the warring nations. In the aftermath, Elena and Alex must escape the killing grounds while coming to terms with their actions.

Inspired by Japanese animation, Archangel Alpha features thrilling mecha action mixed with an intense and tragic war story.

A reluctant heroine, Elena is drawn into a civil war just as she finds love for the first time in her life. She finds qualities she didn’t know she had and discovers the strength to fight for a better world.

Elena is an Esper, a small group of people born with the ability to control computers with their thoughts. As part of a misunderstood and oppressed minority, she has kept her ability a secret.

A native daughter of the city-state of Praetoria, Elena joins her rebellious nation in its fight for independence from the Socialist Republics Directorate (SRED). This brings her in direct confrontation with the friends she left behind.

If that doesn't get giant robot anime fans geeked, I don't know what will? Oh, well maybe the films poster (above) or the production photos below that were supplied by Avery Guerra may do the trick.

The CGI work on this one just looks spectacular. The last photo really reminds me of a scene in an old "Robotech" episode.

I can't wait to see the finished product.
